up and down (2)

Lunch hour.

I’m just sitting on a bench in the park on the other side of the playground, avoiding the crowded indoors.

It was difficult to feel the scent of rawness from the plants tended by the gardener, but the breeze blowing and cooling the overheated head… It was quite satisfactory.

Dalgrak.

Soon after, opening the lid of the lunch box purchased at the cafeteria reveals a neat and luxurious look.

Basic side dishes such as two types of kimchi, stir-fried anchovies, egg rolls and zucchini pancakes filled the upper compartment, and on the second layer, crab salad and green rolls (?) were showing off their colorful colors.

Among them, what catches my eye is the third section, the type of meat, so I picked up the bulgogi first with chopsticks.

Muck and muck-

If teeth exist to absorb energy effectively, the secondary reason is to coordinate the sauce and gravy. The sweet taste that wrapped around the tongue gently melted away the accumulated stress.

It is embarrassing to compare it to artificial meat eaten outside the barriers or processed meat of unknown origin.

In addition, due to the nature of Awakeners, where high calorie intake is essential, the amount was not small-after that, I focused on eating in silence.

no.

I was trying to focus.

“after… Ambiguous, ambiguous.”

“… … .”

“I mean, there are a lot of good guys out there. What do you think? Put it on or not?”

It’s like a fucking bird head.

As if he couldn’t allow even a moment of calm, the parrot rummaged through the pile of business cards and suddenly lifted the orange-coated paper.

It was dangling from its claws, but not difficult to read.

[Park Eun-young/GIS/Distance Dealer]

… who was it

“I do not remember? You vomited grapefruit juice with your right palm.”

I remembered.

“… It must be [corruption liquid projection].”

“yes. Let’s call it half-digested grapefruit juice. Anyway, even though it’s a pretty disgusting ability, it’s very useful. I asked because I thought it would be good to consider continuous attack power for one of the three spots on the AD. But, what I have a bad expression. OK, I took it off.”

“… … .”

As I was at a loss for words at the terrible expression, soon the ugly claws lined up in a row, three each—a total of six groups.

According to the following explanation… … It’s a virtual group lottery.

“Perfect. First of all, it’s an urgent priority to gather three AD dealers, so I tried various ways to prepare for your unique and eccentric taste. Group 1 is a firepower projection type. The goal was to subdue the enemy as quickly as possible, including the kids from the KW and CNM groups. Group 2 is a balanced attack power. I gave you a business card this morning… Is it left over? Elemental Commander-”

“no.”

“… why? You don’t like Nam Ji-eun? Isn’t she a charming female by human standards? Ugh, the gender composition of each team is staggering. In Group 2, he is the red one.”

“… … ”

To this, I replied quietly, promising that someday, I would fix the tone of this crazy parrot.

It’s because you seem to know quite a few facts, but you’ve missed the most important part.

“The characteristics don’t match.”

“… [Unique area]?”

“yes.”

It was.

There are four of the highest abilities and specialized skills that I possessed.

[Unique Area], [Distortion], [Revenge], [Discipline].

And among them, [Inherent Area] is a skill that interferes with or weakens the abilities of others within a certain distance-because it was the worst compatibility with Elementalists, whether it be friends or enemies.

It wouldn’t be impossible to fight together, but it was too inefficient considering the need to maintain a summoned state throughout the battle.

Therefore, naturally- the orange business card that had been pushed to the edge of the bench returned.

“Wow, look at this! Grapefruit juice has made a dramatic comeback!”

“… … .”

“Hmmm, you don’t take jokes, Won.”

However, the deputy assistant of the goddess actually had a different opinion, and while I was eating seaweed soup with meat, he presented a counterargument in a rather serious tone.

It is said that it doesn’t matter right now.

“There will be no use of specialized abilities in the near future, right? For now, form a team and focus on solving the given mission. The time limit of 90 days is surprisingly not long.”

“… … .”

Well.

It was not a persuasion that touched my heart because I saw that I could reach all the lower levels of specialized skills in half a year.

Moreover, before receiving the business card.

It was also largely due to the fact that he had gone through a formidable practice process.

Those who are lacking have at least a subtle taste, but those who live for good taste have strong self-assertion… … It was annoying.

Rather, it might be better to choose the girl on the other side of the playground, busy holding a homemade lunch box.

They don’t show anything subjective, they just know how to adapt.

“Don’t even dream.”

“What.”

“The kid you’re looking at is Im Seol-ha or something. If you want kids who are obedient, you’d better pick the upper-middle class.”

Just in time, as if to prove the parrot’s words.

puck!

A flower pot the size of a fist fell from the second floor of the main building and hit her on the back of the head.

If it had fallen freely, it would have been seriously injured, but since it was artificial bullying, it was only a shock to the extent that a small hump would run.

No wonder, boys my age were chattering around on the second floor window.

Is it dynamism?

Soon after, as Im Seol-ha was fixing her hair and taking care of the lunch box that had fallen on the floor, an unwilling comment was added.

“… I’m sorry but I can’t help it. The professor in charge of the tactical practice class was also called in and warned. It’s worse than not giving halfway hope. They are losers.”

“After all, I was a loser too.”

“Instead, you were talented.”

“… … .”

“Are you going to take responsibility until the end?”

“… no.”

I’m going to get the ending out of the beginning.

Uncomfortable feelings are pushed to the other side of my mind at the word responsibility, and at that point I put down my chopsticks and start organizing my lunch box.

I couldn’t eat two or three quarters of it, but my appetite ran away.

3rd basement floor of the annex building, personal training ground.

40 minutes until the last class of the day. With about 20 minutes left after the travel time, I go inside the tempered glass wall and face the practice doll.

hard.

As the joints of the gauntlet meshed together and resonated with a metallic sound, I felt the new abilities [Differentiation] and [Uniformity] inside.

Thanks to a couple of more missions related to the class content, a few skills were added in the meantime.

Unlike the rewards in the past, it was the first time I experienced this ability without prior knowledge, so I should have been cautious, but the parrot’s advice made up for the incompleteness.

<By combining [elasticity] with [uniformity] and [differentiation], a bridge to [flexibility] will be built. However, the image of [Eruption] must be properly implemented. If you look at the meaning, it is to specialize the structure and function of cells… … .>

“… The key is to combine it with elasticity.”

<Yes. Applying uniformity can be done slowly. As you said, the core is the part that [differentiates] the [elasticity] in the body.>

“Can it be combined with [skeleton]?”

<I do not recommend it. Bone has a different tissue structure. If you want to combine it with the skeleton somehow… You should break it. With [Recovery], it might be possible.>

“… … .”

Since the cameras inside the training ground are on all day, hopefully the spiritual conversation will continue for some time.

Before long, the combination skill [Flexibility] will make its first appearance.

Jjoong!

“… Are your shoulders wide open?”

<Yes. Besides, the way you cut it off was inappropriate.>

Beyond the doll, the scoreboard hanging on the wall had ‘8-30’ stamped out.

30 points out of 100, within 8 stars. It was a number drawn purely with [Flexibility] without the amplification of the jewels embedded in the gauntlet.

“Not bad.”

<Right? If it’s [Flexibility], it’s a 7th grade lower skill. It’s a level that can be counted among the basic abilities. If you use other abilities in the gauntlet, the efficiency will increase dramatically.>

“Can I try a combination now?”

<Do not use [negative].>

So, as soon as the defense magic is restored, I prepare for the next blow. Three stacks are impossible, but it seems that it can handle up to two.

Just like that, a large number of superpowers target the area around the shoulder and flock to it.

Using [Hardening] and [Organization], [Construction] and [Adhesion], [Muscle Tissue Control] was formed, and [Flexibility] was added to it.

To exaggerate too much, it felt like a part of my body from my previous life had returned.

And-

After holding out for about a couple of times, the shield shatters with the sound of breaking windows.

“There is no 7th grade.”

<… It’s because I don’t have enough skill comprehension. Flexibility is the first thing you get.>

The best is 8th grade, 92 points.

There were thick traces of the gauntlet on the doll’s skin, but the torso was not pierced in the end as [Negative] was not used.

“If you amplify it with an earth type gem-”

<Arthur. If you do, it will immediately rupture the muscle.>

“… … .”

<… Do you like it?>

Then, as if out of the blue, I turn my head at the question, and my eyes meet with a parrot with its head tilted to one side.

“what?”

<Does Im Seol-ha like it? At first, I thought he came to train his abilities, but from a certain point on, he’s just beating dolls indiscriminately. Isn’t this a typical stress release?>

“… … .”

I tried to let out a snort at the absurd sound, but there was no other way to explain my actions so far- my lips were unexpectedly closed.

Was there any reason to feel bad?

<A clumsy sympathy is worse than not giving.>

“It’s not like that.”

In short, it’s not like that.

Since when did I become a sentimental person?

<Then are you offended by my words? Because of the expression of a loser?>

“… perhaps.”

<Okay. If that’s the case, this body apologizes. I was still uncomfortable on one side of my wings. Originally, stones, flower pots, or whatever, the children who throw them will have to peck them with their beaks to release their temper.>

“… … .”

For a while, the brow furrowed on its own at the undesirable feeling.

I showed an expression of disapproval.

Seeing a kid being bullied, I might have thought of the beginning of my previous life (when I was just admitted to a prison for people with special abilities) without realizing it.

<Anyway, if you wake up now, let’s go back to the original training.>

“… yes.”

However, this is all stupidity, so I soon approach the entrance – the instrument panel and manipulate the screen.

[Artificial Gravity Generator]

The figure is 3G.

In my mind, I wanted to raise it to double digits and erase the trivial thoughts, but my body, which was growing in full swing, would feel enough pressure with three times higher pressure than usual.

Beep, beep!

And at that moment, along with a sudden ringing sound, the image of manager Park Yu-jin appeared on the instrument panel screen.

I was wondering if it was possible to make calls inside the facility as well.

“… Yes.”

[Ah, Mr. Yongsu! Where are you now?]

“It’s a personal training ground.”

[Okay, that’s great. Do you have all the equipment? I’m sorry, things are a bit rushed right now… … . Disaster notification coming soon. Please bring your weapons and come out in front of the main building.]

“Why-“

pop.

The call ended before I could ask anything, and at this point I wondered if I had received a telegram rather than a phone call.

Wow!

The lights on the ceiling turn bright red, and a loud siren reverberates.

When I went outside, the situation in the other private training rooms was the same – about a dozen students were making faces of embarrassment.

“Hey, this… … .”

“… Check your secure cell phone. It sounds like a disaster situation.”

Just in time, because the cell phone suddenly made an ominous noise- I also approached the vibrating locker and took out the cause of the problem.

[Department of Defense. 4-6 level monster appearance notice. Those with special abilities in the metropolitan area should move to the designated raid and regional defense bases.]

full of fluid.

A warning about the appearance of monsters and an order to summon people with special abilities came out.
